Dynasty Roster Size(No IDP) (2 Viewers)

[Bada Bing]

Currently we have 300 players that are rostered in my dynasty league(10 teams). We are debating on whether to increase the rosters to 32 for next year(26 active, 6 taxi). That would give us a total of 320 players rostered. I'm trying to get a gauge on what the consensus size is for a dynasty league with NO IDP's. Leagues come in all sizes so that is why I'm asking for a total roster size.

were at 264 with 12 teams. Lots of money comes in on transactions when there are some guys on the wire imo...320 seems alot to me, but every league is different.

Four non-IDP leagues

14 X 28 = 392 ( and yes you still find players)

12 X 26 = 312 (some want it lower)

12 X 25 = 300 (with 3 man taxi) so 336 in control

12 X 25 = 300

I have played in 12 X 24. IMO, once you get around 24, the extra players one way or another are not significant. Most of the time you are dealing with extreme longshots at RB, veteran NFL #3-4 WRs with bad passing teams, Extra TEs, K and DEFs. In my experience with these leagues, guys like Damon Huard, Mike Furrey or Jason Wright were available at some point on your waiver wire during the regular season.

The question asks for more questions.... how many do you start, how many draft picks can you take, etc.With a 10x30 league as you describe, I cannot tell if you start 8 players or 15.

The fewer you start, the lower the chances of the "projects" on the end of your bench are to ever get in your starting lineup.

For example, if you start 1/2/2/1/1/1, then only the Top 10 QBs, 20 RBs and WRs, and Top 10 TEs should ever be playing. The rostering of players to try and get to that Top 10/20 figure should be about 3x of that number, not counting K and D. So if you have just 6 offensive position players, that would mean 18 spots. If you start 2 QB, 3 RB, 4 WR, 1 TE and a flex or two, I can see a need for a deeper roster.

Also, if you don't have a taxi squad, the more bench you have to allocate to your draft picks in the hopes that they pan out. Marques Colston was drafted in only the very deepest of Dynasty leagues, but if the roster room was an issue, he was on the waiver wire more than likely before Week 1.

We start 1QB, 1RB, 3WR, 1Flex(RB or WR) 1Kicker, and 1Defense. We have a 4 round rookie draft. Currently we have a 5 man taxi squad. We do not start a TE. What would be the roster size that you would recommend in this situation?BTW, I drafted Marques Colston in the 22nd round.

The 5 man taxi is in addition to 30?With 30 man rosters (not counting the taxi squad), 10 teams, starting 1/1/3/0/1/1 and a flex, you have a Dynasty Factor (from the calculator in my sig) of just 2.231. That's very low.

That means you have a lot of room to stash prospects.

Getting a DF up in the 3-4 range is typical without IDPs. That would put your team at about 17-22 roster spots, including the taxi.

Going with what I stated before of 3x the roster without K and D, you'd be looking at 6x3 = 18 spots for skill players. Add in 1-2 for K and D's and I'd say 22 is the number.

30 would be more appropriate (again without the taxi included) if you added a TE and a RB to your starters, still keeping the Flex.

Our current roster breakdown is 25 active and 5 taxi for a total of 30 roster spots. Sorry, I have to go against your calculator. Those numbers would leave too many good players available in the free agent pool. I thought the concept of a dynasty league was to be as close to the real thing as possible? Good players aren't available off the street in the NFL.

The point is that you aren't ever starting but the true elite of the NFL anyway with your starter requirements.Your roster will have the Reuben Droughns and the Ladell Betts' of the world on a team, but they will NEVER be starting.

As for the rookie draft, after the first round of rookies the odds of a player making the leap into the Top 20 are slim.

All I'm saying is that a league with only 10 owners and 5 skill players starting would be far better served by adding two more starters.

I went back to the original post (OP) to answer the question as asked.Going with the DF of 3-4 gave me that answer.

Adding a RB and TE is nice in theory but I just don't see the starting requirements changing after the initial draft has taken place. Everyone would have drafted differently in that scenario. Giving me what you believe is the consensus size is fine because that is what I was looking for. I just don't agree with it being so small. I wrongly assumed that the roster size for most leagues would be higher. Anyway, my league is happy with the current setup so I guess that is all that matters.

 

[Screwball]

12 teams, 18 minimum-20 maximum roster size +1 IR

Offseason (between rookie draft and opening week) we have 24 player rosters.

Usually we are somewhere around 230 total players. Currently we are at 223. Its a salary/contract league, so thats why the 18-20 range. Some teams cant afford a 19th or 20th player at some point.

I would like to see this raised to a 22 player maximum, including IR. But if we were to go any higher, it would affect the transaction pot which pays for web hosting, superbowl and draft party, and high score prizes for the subsequent season.
